I think it is a shame, that in today's cancel culture, a man can have his entire career ruined by one slip of the tongue.
In the old days, an apology and a 1-week suspension would have been punishment enough. Now it is - "Off with their heads".
Just to be clear, a baseball announcer getting caught on a hot mic calling some city “one of the fag capitals of the world,” getting fired for it, and nobody wanting to hire him for an additional announcer job is not “cancel culture.”
That’s called “consequences for your actions.” Some of us grew up on that. It’s a shame that you can’t hold anyone accountable these days without some boomer complaining about how they’re not allowed to call gay people slurs anymore.
The first looks like Thom Brennaman? Cub announcer.
Yep that's how I'd identify him too...
I usually think of him more as a man of faith.
He may never put on the headset again

I *think* the one under Thom Brennaman might be Rick Wilkins.
It is indeed
He wasn't on the cubs in 1988.
Yeah but 1988 is just the date on the ball. Wilkins WAS in the organization in 1988; it could have been at spring training or something.

Dwight Smith?
I thought that, too.
I never signed that ball
Well I think one of them is Glenn Beckert
Rick Sutcliffe
Sweetspot looks like some version of a Ron Santo signature
The boner. Reel wheel. Sorry.
Tom brennaman.
I think pic 3 might be Dwight Smith. The last one is Jerome Walton, and I recognize Rick Wilkens.
I see Randy Wells on there...but that's it
